Apparently they can't do a partial rollback, no matter what their annoucements say. The entire database was rolled back. Including my last ring mule which never exchanged any meso or items with any other characters, it was just cpq'ing and golden-templing for those last 3 levels it lost.
Ah well, I only lost that one ring, and it was a spare one I didn't have a specific need for. Also lost some exp and rep on various chars, and a few meso, but the 2x exp and 5k maple points should make up for that.
What irks me a lot more is the rings I helped my guildies and allies get, through long hours of free-win-with-summons cpq. They now have no rings at all.
Also, the Ravana helm we were finally able to get for my guildie, gone. We get another week to try, but those sunbursts drop for me at a rate of one a day :-(
Anyway, not knowing just how many meso got dumped into circulation (compared to the "normal" rate of meso-sellers), I can't judge whether such drastic measures were really necessary. I only know the ring event MUST be extended to truly make up for what we lost.
